Drawing on varied methodological perspectives and disciplinary traditions, and engaging researchers from other LSE departments (including Media and Communications, Methodology, Psychological and Behavioural Science), the group holds a weekly research seminar throughout the academic year and hosts visiting scholars from across the UK and abroad.
Faculty members from the Political Behaviour Group are world leading experts in their field, regularly appear on national and international media, have been awarded numerous competitive research grants and fellowships from national and international funding bodies, and teach across the Department of Government Department's various BSc and MSc programmes.
Political Behaviour Seminar Series
The Political Behaviour Seminar is supported by the Department of Government and is open to all members of the LSE community.
Thursdays, 16:00-17:00, in-person and via zoom. If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact gov.comms@lse.ac.uk.
